William
Harris Homestead - 3636 Georgia Highway 11
Monroe, GA 30656 Visit the past!
The William Harris Homestead is one of the few early Georgia
plantations which remains sufficiently intact to depict the culture and
lives of Walton County's first settlers.
The William Harris Homestead provides a rare
glimpse into how the earliest homesteaders in the "new frontier" of
northeast Georgia tamed the land and created a legacy for future
generations.
Experience how early settlers carved out a
self-sufficient lifestyle in an area that was little more than a
wilderness. The grounds feature original 19th Century
buildings that were raised from the land itself: The log
house (circa
1825), build of 6"x8" timbers, The cellar lined with emormous river
rock, The Smokehouse made of handmade brick, The corncrib and barn, The
natural spring which provided drinking water and "wash place" for
laundry days.
Demonstrations may include: spinning
raw cotton and wool into thread, weaving thread into fine cloth,
candlemaking, butter churning, and open-hearth cooking, meat and food
preservation, historical relevance of the Creek Indians, and Civil War
interpretations.
